Snailoween 2016: Highlights From Toronto’s Coolest And Nerdiest Halloween Party

While there's nothing wrong with buying a store brand Harley Quinn costume or Captain America onesie, there's something extra special about going all out for Halloween, assembling a costume from scratch and giving it your all for the spookiest night of the year. Every year, Toronto's Silver Snail comic store hosts a huge and nerdy Halloween bash featuring some of the best costumes and cosplay you'll see all year, and professional cosplay photographer Paul Hillier is always on hand to capture some of the coolest and most unique Halloween costumes you're likely to see!

The winner of this year's costume contest were the incredibly detailed and accurate pair cosplaying as everyone's favorite anthropomorphic henchmen, Bebop and Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Along with their boss Shredder, they impressed everyone with the care and attention applied to their suits, from Bebop's trademark sunglasses to Rocksteady's bulging belly.
